Piers Morgan Uncensored

Most of the world’s eyes are on Iran, but Israel is waging a major second front of this war against Hezbollah in Lebanon.More than 1,000 have been killed there and over a million have been displaced from their homes. Defence minister Israel Katz said Israel intends to occupy southern Lebanon and the BBC reports that Israeli forces have been ordered to destroy homes if necessary, using Gaza as a blueprint.Add all of this to Donald Trump’s anger over unsanctioned Israeli strikes on Iran’s biggest gas field, as well as the US condemnation of settler violence in the West Bank, and the differences in their national interests become very clear.Joining Piers Morgan to discuss is former Israeli Prime Minister, Naftali Bennett, professor at Lebanon’s Université Saint-Joseph, journalist at Breakthrough News, Rania Khalek, and The Young Turks’ founder Cenk Uygur.

The war on Iran has divided Trump’s base and nothing currently shows this more than warring MAGA podcasters.

The likes of Tucker Carlson, Theo Von, Candace Owens and Joe Rogan all hold huge influence - and all supported Trump’s re-election, but have spoken out against the Iran War.

And vehemently pro-war broadcasters like Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro are nowhere to be seen at the top of the charts.

Trump’s MAGA core has always been right behind him - but they’re nowhere near enough for him or any Republican to win the presidency.

Joining Piers Morgan to discuss this is former US defense secretary and CIA director Leon Panetta, host of No Spin News Bill O’Reilly, and former wrestler, actor and Governor Jesse Ventura.

Plus host of Part of the Problem Dave Smith and Valuetainment host and PBD Podcast’s Adam Sosnick go head-to-head…

President Trump famously waited for the markets to close for the weekend before announcing war on Iran. This weekend he imposed a chilling 48-hour deadline for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz or face the total obliteration of its energy facilities.
This morning, with gas heading up and stocks heading down, the President said the strikes were off for at least five days, taking us to up to the closure of the markets on Friday.

Whether we are really any closer to a “total resolution” is extremely unclear. It’s hard to see how Trump can declare any kind of victory right now. The only side crowing about victory will be Iran - and whether the markets like it or not, it’s hard to see how President Trump will settle for that.

Joining Piers Morgan to discuss the latest is former White House communications director and host of The Rest is Politics US Anthony Scaramucci, former White House deputy press secretary, Hogan Gidley, US marine corp veteran turned anti-war protester and Green candidate for Senate, Brian McGinnis, Iran activist and former Canadian lawmaker, Goldie Ghamari, The Economist’s defence editor Shashank Joshi, and Iranian regime supporter Professor Mohammad Marandi.

Israel has launched a ground operation in Lebanon, opening a major second front in its war against Iran and its proxies - raising the stakes in an already volatile region.

While the risks of escalation are enormous, some argue the potential strategic gains for Israel are just as significant: reduced threats from hostile neighbors, stronger ties with Gulf states, and an even more dominant position in the region militarily and politically.

As the conflict intensifies, questions are mounting over the role of the United States. President Donald Trump, who campaigned on a promise of peace, now faces criticism for backing a costly and controversial war - one that could carry serious political consequences at home.

At the same time, divisions are growing across political and media circles, with prominent voices fiercely debating the motivations behind the war and the extent to which U.S. interests align with Israel’s objectives.

Piers Morgan is joined by political scientist Professor John Mearsheimer for his analysis on the conflict.

Piers then speaks to activist Norman Finkelstein and retired lieutenant colonel and IDF international spokesman Jonathan Conricus.

Joe Kent - a Gold Star husband, retired Green Beret, and veteran of 11 combat tours - has dramatically resigned as the U.S.’s top counterterrorism official, just days after being appointed by President Donald Trump.

In a statement, Kent said he could not support the ongoing war in Iran, arguing the country posed no imminent threat and claiming the conflict was driven by pressure from Israel and its allies. His remarks have sparked fierce backlash, with prominent conservative voices calling for scrutiny of his actions.

Trump has since distanced himself from Kent, publicly criticizing his judgment. The fallout highlights growing divisions within the conservative movement over the war.

Meanwhile, tensions continue to rise globally, with Trump now warning NATO allies over the Strait of Hormuz and even threatening to reconsider U.S. involvement in the alliance.

Piers Morgan is joined by his panel of retired US army officer and commanding general, Ben Hodges, former UK ambassador to the Islamic Republic of Iran, Sir Richard Dalton, founder and CEO of The Young Turks, Cenk Uygur and co-host of The Verdict With Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson.

Piers is also joined by founder of Blaze Media, Glenn Beck, Iranian activist Masih Alinejad and former Iran women's soccer player, Shiva Amini, who fled the country after being photographed playing without a hijab.
